The top free agents of the 2017 class will be unrestricted, which could make that month of July both exciting and nerve-wracking for a bunch of NBA teams.
POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
 |
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Golden State
The back-to-back MVP hits free agency in 2017 and he's a mortal lock to get a maximum contract. With the Warriors rolling, it's hard to picture him leaving the Bay Area anytime soon. |
 |
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Oklahoma City
One of the most athletic and confident point guards we've ever seen. As of now his duo with Kevin Durant is working out pretty well, but a lot can happen in Oklahoma City between today and the summer of 2017. |
 |
Early Termination Option / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: LA Clippers
Look for him to opt out and get a humongous deal. With the Clippers' championship window closing, will he look for greener pastures? |
 |
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-10 / Team: Milwaukee
Has star written all over him. May not hit free agency as the Milwaukee Bucks will surely try to lock him up with a contract extension next year. |
 |
5. Chris Paul
Early Termination Option / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: LA Clippers
Chris Paul is on the wrong side of 30, but suitors will line up for his services regardless. Didn't look like he had a lost a step in 2015-16. |
 |
6. Rudy Gobert
Restricted / Center / 7-1 / Team: Utah
One of the best rim protectors in the NBA these days. Utah doesn't come across players this gifted very often, so expect the team to sign him to an extension before the Frenchman hits free agency. |
 |
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Utah
The versatile forward will become a free agent right in the middle of his prime years. Keeping him in Utah will not come cheap. |
 |
8. Kyle Lowry
Player Option / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: Toronto
Had the best season of his career in 2015-16 and you can count on him being one of the premier point guards in the game in 2016-17. |
 |
Restricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: Atlanta
Has made clear coming off the bench behind Jeff Teague is not the right situation for him. The talented and aggressive Schroeder is certainly too good not to be a starter. |
 |
10. Danilo Gallinari
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-10 / Team: Denver
Averaged a career-high 19.5 ppg in 2015-16, but staying healthy remains a challenge for him. |
 |
11. Paul Millsap
Player Option / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: Atlanta
Overachieves year after year. May not have superstar talent, but makes a very noticeable impact on both ends of the court. |
 |
12. Victor Oladipo
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: Orlando
Oozes with potential, yet leaves you wanting more. If he finally puts it all together, he's All-Star material. |
 |
13. Derrick Rose
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Chicago
|
 |
14. Jeff Teague
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: Atlanta
